Michelle Obama is so beautiful in such a... round-the-way-girl kinda way... I don't know. I can't describe it, but I think she's one of those people who becomes pretty because of the way she carries herself. She's just so doggone classy.

Bishop Jakes is gonna be here tomorrow night! I'm trying to decide if I wanna go. Bishop Jakes is one of the few preachers I wouldn't mind "pressing my way" to go see.

And Marvin Sapp, Vashawn Mitchell and **hmm can't remember the third person** will be in Selma (at Wallace) on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving... btw. 

She really does just get more beautiful and classy with age. 

Yeah, my friend Cookie made a really good point.  They put all this stuff before the word, and then they want to cut off the speaker... whatupwiththat?  They started grabbing on her prior to that and told her to lift the offering, lol.  I wanted to throw something!  I LOL'd at Jackie with the James Brown move, throwing the shawl over her shoulders, and then she just keeps preaching and takes it back off... LOL!

Yeah, I caught the JB* move. Too hilarious! LOL!

When it comes to pulling those moves they pulled last night, I just can't take that with a grain of salt. I get really bothered by those types of things because it's an indicator of a much bigger problem in the BOC. There is something terribly wrong when any church can spend 3-4 hours on remarks and greetings and songs and announcements and acknowledgements and stuff... and then cut the speaker off because it's getting late. Who needs an altar call when the "time is already far spent." I mean... where are our priorities? What's our purpose??

Two years ago today, this thread was born.

Kinda makes you wonder, where were we storing all these random thoughts and unthreadworthy discussions before the Current Status Thread was born?

I had McDonalds Wednesday and Thursday. LOL. Still, I've done much better this year than ever before in my adult life. I think on average, I probably had McD's about 3-4 times a month this year... last year, it was more like 5 or 6 times a week. 

[JustBritt]

I'm not sure if I even like it anymore. I ate it almost everyday lol. I really haven't eaten any fast food at all the last few months. Except Wendys chicken nuggets.

Tizzy Teej is just gonna try his luck winging this sociology exam I have in an hour and a half. I just can't pull myself together to study for it.

[LaylaMonroe]

CS: Excited! My blog passed its own record today.  

CS: Trying to figure out what to write about for today's post... and working on this 2011 Community Outreach Plan for church. Sometimes, I feel like... *sigh* nevermind.

Just cheat. 



  j/k of course. 

And you never did hit me up about your church/quit-or-stay situation

Just got through playing "Judge Judy" at the gas station.

Scenario:
Man pulls up to pump 9 at the shell station. He goes inside and pays cash for gas on pump 11. Meanwhile, there is a lady that pulls up to pump 11 and swipes her credit card for gas.

The man realizes that he game the cashier the wrong pump number, so he goes back inside and tells the cashier. The cashier tells him that pump 11 has already pumped $16.38 worth of gas, but stopped.

The customer from pump 11 comes in and the cashier explains the situation. The lady from pump 11 says that the machine took her card and that it was approved. And that she is not giving him $16.38, because it doesnt belong to him. The cashier is trying to explain that the pump was already on when she went to pump, the credit card is irrelevant, because nothing was deducted from her card. The lady from pump 11 becomes beligerant (sp) and refused to pay the man his $16.38...


So, from what I can see... The guy should have paid better attention to what pump he was on. Thats his fault that this happened. Unfortunately its his loss. BUT on the other hand, the lady on pump 11 knows good and well that the mchine didnt print a receipt, and that if she were to call her ccard company, they would tell her that there is no transaction. She know as well as we all did that she was getting $16.38 worth of free gas...

Soooooo... Who is in the wrong here?

B_X:  I think the lady should have let him pump that exact amount into his car from her card. IMO if he takes her to court he'd win plus she'd be paying more than $16.98.

[kodacolor]

* $16.38

[LaylaMonroe]

CS: Terribly frustrated. *sigh*

Praying the Lord will send me someone to talk to about this. There are certain things you can't discuss with certain people, and this particular "subject" is one that I really can't talk about with most folks. I need help.

UGH. So frustrated.

She's dead wrong.  She could call right on the spot and make sure nothing went through before giving him the money.

[LaylaMonroe]

The store could've told her that her card didn't go through and asked to run it so she'd be charged for the $16.38. Unless she's just a jerk looking to get over, I'm sure she would've done it.

For the record, I wouldn't have given him $16 either, because I wouldn't have had $16 in cash on me. LOL. I would've paid to pump his gas, though. And, knowing me, I probably would've told him to be more careful next time. But truthfully, who among us has never gone inside either not knowing/remembering what the pump number was or giving the wrong pump number?  It's not that uncommon.
